Johnson Gone; Cornhuskers Looking for New Skipper Wednesday, March 1st, 2028 Larry Johnson had heard the murmurs, but didn't think much of the ongoing rumors of his own firing. That is, until he arrived at the ballpark today and found out he had been terminated as the manager of the DeKalb Cornhuskers. "You read the newspaper, you hear people talking, you hope it won't happen and when it does, it's pretty tough to actually lose your job," said the distraught Johnson, only a few minutes after learning he had been terminated. "It's never easy to take, but you've got to try to grin and bear it. Like they say, 'you are hired to be fired.'" Several players came by Johnson's office to say their goodbyes and offer hugs and well wishes as he packed his belongings. "He was well-respected in the clubhouse, but in the end we need someone who is going to bring better results," said DeKalb's general manager. |
